so i get to choose a new ar upper as a gift from my wife... ive been thinking about getting a 50 Beowulf a buddy of mine says i should get a 458 socom... what do you think? 50 Beowulf seems cheaper to shoot... this would be my you can have them bullets first gun as its a brutal round... another consideration... how much difference is there between a 12 guage slug and 50 Beowulf for this purpose... slugs and 50 Beowulf cost about the same...
